成为一个更好的领导者

You'll spend plenty of time with the Business Leadership Center getting specialized training in leadership and communication — critical skills not always covered in an MBA curriculum but valued by corporate recruiters. Three off-campus learning programs give you a chance to study with experts and apply your newly acquired skills. Favorite among Cox students is the Disney Institute, a five-day program that takes you backstage and into Disney's corporate offices to study the Disney Approach to customer service and leadership. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from the company that exemplifies best-in-class management training worldwide.
